A move from New York to Memphis is one Royal Moving Services handles end to end as a licensed interstate carrier. Memphis is about 1,100 miles southwest of New York, a corridor into the logistics capital of the Mid-South on the Mississippi River. Because we run under USDOT #3617767 with our own trucks and crews, your job never gets handed to a broker. A single coordinator stays with you from the New York pickup all the way to delivery in Memphis.
Memphis is defined by its music, its river, and its barbecue in ways that make it unlike any other American city. Beale Street's blues heritage, Stax Records, and Sun Studio give it a musical identity that is genuinely irreplaceable. The FedEx superhub makes it one of the most important logistics nodes in the country, and the port on the Mississippi River adds a commercial geography that has anchored Memphis since the Civil War era.
Housing is among the most affordable of any mid-size American city, and for people drawn to music culture, the Mississippi River, or the logistics industry, Memphis offers a density of relevant history and opportunity that is hard to find elsewhere at this price point.

Your New York to Memphis Move, Done Right
The New York to Memphis run is about ~1,100 mi and takes roughly 2-3 days on the road. The New York pickup needs reserved elevators and parking, which the crew arranges before loading. Because Royal Moving Services holds its own USDOT authority, the same crew that loads your New York home is the one that unloads it in Memphis.

Your move from New York to Memphis, step by step.
01
Survey & quote
We walk through your New York home by video or in person, then put the price in writing with the full cost up front. Call (888) 634-9582 to start.
02
Pack & load
The crew meets you at your New York address, reviews the inventory together, boxes whatever is still loose, and loads the truck. We handle the building's elevator and loading-zone rules up front, and everything is logged before the truck pulls out for Memphis.
03
Transit to Memphis
Your truck covers the roughly ~1,100 mi on I-78 / I-81 / I-40 West. The route runs I-81 south to I-40 west across Tennessee into Memphis. You get a delivery window before departure and updates throughout transit. The approach crosses the Mississippi River bridge into the city.
04
Delivery & setup
At your Memphis address the crew unloads, sets furniture where you want it, puts back together anything that was broken down, and walks the final inventory with you. Memphis deliveries range from historic midtown homes with tighter access to suburban properties with driveways. Coming out of a dense New York building, the contrast in access on the delivery end is usually the easy part.
